84 - FRENCH SCHOOL, circa 1900—Pair of drawings in pen, black ink, and gray wash on paper (17 × 103 cm each, as depicted). Toulon, panoramic views of the harbor: the Tamaris coast and the Arsenal. Unsigned. Mounted on salmon-pink Marie-Louise mats with black borders, framed under glass (black and speckled gold frame). Water stains and foxing. Two long “coastal views” taken from the water.The first depicts the Tamaris shoreline: villas, palm trees, an arcaded pavilion at the water’s edge, a pier on stilts, and, on the hill, a large building flanked by towers (presumably the Grand Hôtel de Tamaris); in the distance, the Deux Frères rocks. The second shows the docks and buildings of the Arsenal, with a battleship featuring naval masts and a squadron at anchor. The buildings of the seaside resort founded by Michel Pacha and the silhouettes of the ships date these views to around 1890–1910.
